The Mission Of the Hog,

The hog should be regarded and
treated as an animal machine for the
conversion of cheap vegetable matter
into more valuable pork-converting
bulky and unstable products into
compact and readily marketable sub
stances. A home market is thus Sc
cured tor crops and much waste mat
ter on the farm. Instead of desiring
that these machines may consume as
little raw material as possible, the
more they consume the better, pro-
vided it is rrofitably converted into
meat. BY arranging a number of lots,
adapted in size to the number of swine
to be kept so that they will each
open upon Bermuda pasture from
which swine may be turned at
will into any of the crops,
and to which they may be
withdrawn TO prevent injury
to the land in wet spells, succession
OF crops may be grown, especially for
their consumption, as follows: /. Rive
TO be grazed in winter. allowed to
seed, CLEANED and followed by sweet
potatoes. A mixture of corn, peas,
sweet potatoes and decorticated cotton
seed fed during latter part of winter
and spring with collard leaves to add
to the variety. 2. Oats to be gathered
by hogs and followed by speckled
peas. 8 Early planted speckled peas
to be gathered by hogs and followed
by fall oats or rye. 4. Early crop Of
sweet potatoes to be followed by rye.
5. Ground peas between corn rows.
both to be gathered by hogs or the
corn harvested for use later. 6.
Speckled peas between rows
OF sorghum. Z. Chufas for late
winter use-for stock hogs after finish
ing up those to be butchered. None of
these crops are costly-the hogs do the
harvesting and together with the usual
small grain fields and pea fields will
produce pork as cheaply as it can be
grown anywhere There is always a
home market for Southern smoke
house cured bacon at prices above
western meat of the same class. 1t
would not necessarily exclude cotton
from the farm, nor, indeed, should it
do So but it would reduce the area
and increase the per acreage produc.
ton. Under proper management, the
pork can be sold at twice the cost of
production, while cotton often brings
less than it costs to produce it. With.
out Intelligent personal supervision
neither this nor any other agricultural
enterprise will succeed. -. S. New-
man, TN Southern Cultivator.

the plants in the Gulf States is from

plants are strong and set in October.
they will begin to bear in January, and
the bulk of the crop will be harvested
inf ebruary and March. Unless the
weather is cool or cloudy, shade the
plants for week after being set. Give
manure literally, and there is none
better than that from the cow-pens.
Mulching is not necessary, but is adj
visable, and some growers allow the
weeds to grow from the finish
of fruiting until October. 10 shade the

Peculiarities of Razors.

BARRIERS declare that razors are even
more capricious than tickle woman,
and gentlemen who shave themselves
recognize the individuality or idiosyn-
Grassy of razors. Some razors need a
rest after using, and no amount OF
stropping will make them efficient
unless they are hundred, while others
will be the better for constant use.
Some razors will be better if stropped
Immediately after using. others require
the edge to be put on before applica.
ton. Many gentlemen who shave
themselves have set of razors-one
for each day in the week. The more
expensive the razor the more CAPRI
clous is the finer-tempered steel blade.
AS rule new razor is not as profit
able as well-tempered old one, and
BARRIERS declare that the breaking in of
razor is matter of skill as import
ant as the training Of colt. Once
ascertained the temper of a razor can
always be relied on. N y Times.

Too Much Land.

Can that system of farming be right
which improverishes the soil and re-
duccs the yield? Can that system of
farming be right and profitable which
does not improve the soil and increase
tho yield?
The average farmer in the South is
attempting to cultivate too much land.
The average farmer in the South owns
more land than he can manage profit
ably. The time, labor and money ex-
pended on twenty acres should be con-
centrated on ten. But it was one of
those venerable and reverend customs
of the past, which, although unprofit-
able and wasteful, and unsuited to
those conditions imposed by tho de-
struction of our slave-labor system,
we still cling to with singular tenacity.
The slave-owner of the South
was rich in proportion as he
was able to increase the number of
his slaves and to multiply his
broad acres. And what though, by
his system of farming, fair and fertile
fields were exhausted, laid waste and
abandoned? He had but to STAY and
destroy his magnificent forests to re-
place them with fresher and richer
fields, to be in their turn depleted, OK
haustel and ruined. Thus was this
goodly heritage, which the God. of
Nature had so beautifully provided,
wasted and positively robbed, and to-
day, all over the beautiful
hills and plains of this fair
land, abandoned, exhausted fields
and quilted hillsides greet the
eye as the mournful footprints of
slavery. Shall this process of deple-
ton, exhaustion, waste and ruin be
continued? Shall the generations
which are to follow us continue to be
robbed?
Mr.: President slavery is gone. In
the name of progress. in the name of
our children, let those systems anal
practices born of its existence go with
it.-Ectract from Speech Of L. L. Polk,

Personal Work.

The duty of organization is often
pressed on us. and not too often, for
it is to be accomplished. But in per-
forming it we should not forget the
other duty-that of personal effort,
put forth singly. without the joining
Of any hand, without even the notice
OF any other eye. 1t is easy. when
societies, etc. are in fashion, to trust
all to them and to loose our religious
identity in the mass tn at makes up the
fraternities. But it is at sacrifice of
culture and growth that we do this;
besides. every cause needs individual
helpers and can only prosper properly
when they are secured to it.-United
